I believe that Boost doesn't handle hyphens in domain names in bang-links correctly. (lemmy.today)

I'm afraid that I can't confirm it myself, as I don't use Boost, but a user here says that Boost apparently can't handle Threadiverse bang links where the hostname has hyphens in it.

He was attempting to follow !Silksong@indie-ver.se

Just wanted to get a heads-up to the Boost developers.

Thanks for your time!

Huh seems legit, I'm using boost and only up to the dash is highlighted, and the link doesn't work.

Yeah, I saw that thread, and can confirm the link doesn't work.

I sympathize with this bug as I wrote a big chunk of the code that does markdown to html conversion for piefed. I feel like every week or so some new edge-case pops up and I need to adjust my regex again. These community links are not standard markdown, so every app basically has to write their own bespoke solution.
